Harry Potter would be cringe if it were written as you think that the gene speaks

Harry’s name is cringe and Mrs. Dursley is a karen. So it is in a version of fans who make a text in the sense of generation Z from Harry Potter – or at least their idea of ​​how the generation speaks.

What kind of text is that? Each generation has its own way to speak. Regardless of whether boomer, millennial or generation z, some expressions are mainly used by a certain age group. However, people who do not belong to a certain generation tend to perceive this “generation slang” much more than it actually is.

Generation Z or Gen Z is the name for the generation, which was born between 1995 and 2010. The members of this generation are now between 14 and 30 years old.

Some fans of Harry Potter “translate” the book series into the style of generation Z and make it a kind of teen comedy-because the translation is of course completely exaggerated and drives the “slang” of the generation to the extreme.
